ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Rustboro, 3 years ago

-Roxanne recalls her defeated Nosepass, and I recall my triumphant Armaldo-

Roxanne: Wow... your whole team are Bugs! How did you defeat my Rock-types?

I guess I got lucky?

Roxanne: No, that's not it. You must have raised them really, really well.

Well, I'm not sure about that... You ARE a Gym Leader, and that's about as talented as they get.

Roxanne: Well, then you have more talent than a Gym Leader. Have you ever thought about challenging the league? You'd go far, that's for sure!

No, I don't think that's for me.

Roxanne: Why not? You could be Champion if you try hard enough!

That kind of life just doesn't appeal to me...

Roxanne: Then what does?

I... don't know yet. I need to find out. That's why I'm leaving Rustboro. To search the land for my calling in life.

Roxanne: Aww, you're leaving? Well, I hope you find whatever it is you're looking for...

Thanks. And thanks for being a good opponent, good neighbor, and good teacher.

Roxanne: "Teacher"? You're older than me!

Doesn't mean I can't learn still. I can safely say that age has no bearing on what you know and what you can learn. Goodbye, Roxanne.

-I leave, and stare up into the sky, hoping for some hint as to my future and the goals within it-

A Hoenn rainforest, three years ago

It's so rainy here, I don't think I'll ever get completely used to it.

-Enters his Secret Base and takes a seat on a cushion-

Ah, that's better.

... Is it time to update the recap page, maybe?

I was just thinking that myself. Do you want to take it? Because I'm not good with summarizing things.

Me too. That is why I never trope.

Well, a lot has happened. I wouldn't really know where to start...

If I figure out where each arc starts and ends, would you do the summary?

We've done at least three separate arcs.

We're waiting until 4:00 EST Thursday to resume, right? It needs to be done pretty early if I'm going to be there for it, though... I'm gone for all of Friday and need to go to sleep early Thursday night (Need to get up at about 4:15 AM or so, won't be back until 3:00 AM the next day.) I'm probably going to miss a lot on Friday even if we defeat 'M tomorrow, though...

I'll only be around for the first hour of the 'M battle if that's our plan, but I'm fine with that.

The next arc for the recap page would be the encounter with the Zoroark, and the events in Anville. If you want to include the battle with Clay in there, that would probably be fine.

I'll get page numbers, too.

Lousy time zones. What good did they ever do?

As for the Recap page, as Wolf mentioned, it hasn't been updated since before the whole Driftveil City/Anville town thing onwards. Whoever's going to be filling it in has their work cut out for them.

That arc goes from about page 410-472-ish when we all meet up in Mistralton.

Voiceover Me: Anyway, we set up camp for the night in the ruins, because I was tired I neglected to recall Susan and Oakley.

Oakley: -Sneaking out of the tent- <Now where's that bracelet gone?> -Spots the bracelet- <Aha. Now then, let's see what's written on this thing> -Examines the engravings- <Good think I took AP Poko Language... Second half of the Unova-font "beware" syntax, and this one is almost universally translated to "me". So the entire thing is "Ware Me". Well, seems pretty benign> -Slips on and goes back to tent-

... Would be nice if this forum had a function that would allow to just type in what page of a thread you wanted to go to instead of having to go through several pages just to get to that page...

Yeah, that makes things difficult.

So apparently, when we're done in Unova, we're going off to one of the regions from the Pokémon Ranger spin-offs? That sounds pretty interesting, considering there aren't any trainers in those regions.

I believe so, and then it's Orre after that, with Miror B. out to get us.

Hmm... Has anyone decided on a storyline for the Ranger region yet? Because I had an idea involving someone stealing Mesprit away from Lake Verity, intending to use her power to take away the emotions of Pokémon Rangers, thereby rendering their capture stylers useless since they require the Ranger's feelings of friendship to befriend wild Pokémon...

I don't have anything planned.

I had a few plans for the Ranger region. If we use yours, can it be in Fiore since I have no ideas for there?

The only thought I've given to the Ranger Region arc is that the villains are probably poachers.

What about Pinchers?

I've never actually played Pokemon Ranger, so I assume that's what the game calls poachers.

The main villainous teams are the Go-Rock Squad, Team Dim Sun, and the Pokemon Pinchers.

Sorry, orthodontist. I'm usually the one that does the recap pages, by the way.
